It was mentioned that Lockheed Martin just increased their dividend 15%.I've owned LMT since 2010, a mere 2 years. 2 years ago the dividend was .63 cents per share per q. With the current increase its now $1.15. They have increased the dividend three times in two years.It has almost doubled. The current yield is now about 5% which still makes it attractive to current buyers. I would say they are treating their shareholders pretty decent and would recommend it highly as a new investment. What utility matches it? see link..
